MARYLAND, USA —

A Coast Guard lieutenant planned on killing at least 22 prominent Democratic leaders and media personalities, including Beto O’Rourke, according to court filings in the U.S. District Court of Maryland.

Christopher Hasson was arrested Feb. 15 by the FBI and charged with drug and weapon possession. He identified himself as a white nationalist and advocated for “focused violence” in order to establish a white homeland, according to court documents.

“I am dreaming of a way to kill almost every last person on the earth,” Hasson wrote in a draft email on June 2, 2017, according to court records.
